This is the replication package for "Better Safe than Sorry? Toxic Waste Management after Union Elections" 
by Magnus Schauf and Eline Schoonjans, accepted for publication in 2024 by the Journal of Labor Economics.

Data
- tri_nlrb_data.dta stems from a facility matching between NLRB union election data and the Toxic Release Inventory.
Based on the facility names from the election and toxic waste data, these two datasets are combined. 
For our analyses, we only include facilities where proprietary data from NETS is available. This data is not included in the replication package.
The data is on the chemical-facility-year level.

- all additional data and their sources are found in the replication preparation do-file.

Code
- Replication_Prep prepares all data
- Replication_TablesandFigures runs the code to compute the paper's tables and figures.

The code is based on Stata (version 18). All necessary packages can be installed from the preparation do-file.
All tables and figures will be generated and stored in an additional folder "results".
